FEATURES OF TUGBOATS STABILITY CONTROL IN MANEUVERING ON THE SHELF

Abstract The dynamics of a vehicle's tires is a major contributor to the vehicle stability, control, and performance. A better understanding of the handling performance and lateral stability of the vehicle can be achieved by an in-depth study of the transient behavior of the tire. In this article, the transient response of the tire to a steering angle input is examined and an analytical second order tire model is proposed. This model provides a means for a better understanding of the transient behavior of the tire. The proposed model is also applied to a vehicle model and its performance is compared with a first order tire model.

Ethical Design

This mini-manifesto synthesizes premises and foundational principles of an autoethnographic consciousness. Depicting autoethnography as a genre of doubt, I focus on autoethnography's ethical design, its gifts and afflictions, and the ways in which autoethnography troubles and transgresses the boundaries separating scientific and literary modes of truth telling. By encouraging modes of intimate, personal, caring, and self-reflexive expression, autoethnography raises important questions about the meanings and uses of memory, storytelling, truth, and reality. Autoethnography is not a discourse of order, stability, control, and destiny but one of ambiguity, contradiction, contingency, and chance that allows scholars to maintain an emotional and personal connection to their research.

Vehicle Chassis

An integrated fault tolerant controller is proposed for vehicle chassis system. Based on the coupled characteristics of vertical and lateral system, the fault tolerant controller mainly concentrates on the cooperative control of controllable suspension and lateral system with external disturbances and actuator faults. A nine-DOF coupled model is developed for fault reconstruction and accurate control. Firstly, a fault reconstruction mechanism based on sliding mode is introduced; when the sliding mode achieves, actuator fault signals can be observed exactly through selecting appropriate gain matrix and equivalent output injection term. Secondly, an active suspension controller, a roll moment controller and a stability controller is developed respectively; the integrated control strategy is applied to the system under different driving conditions: when the car is traveling straightly, the main purpose of the integrated strategy is to improve the vertical performance; the lateral controller including roll moment control and stability control will be triggered when there is a steering angle input. Simulations experiments verify the performance enhancement and stability of the proposed controller under three different driving conditions.
